The second master class by renowned sculptor "Rackham" Aragorn Marx. We remember him on the creation of the sculpture "The Barbarian."

Master Class James Van Schaik. demonstrated in detail the process lelki 32 mm size sculpture of "Green Staffa."

Master Class with Christophe Letellier in which he answers the basic questions about the basic methods of miniature sculpture.

Taking into account that many of today's digital artists -- particularly 3D character animators -- lack foundational artistic instruction, this book teaches anatomy in a coherent and succinct style. A clear writing style explains how to sculpt an accurate human figure, starting with the skeleton and working out to muscle, fat, and skin. Insightful explanations enable you to quickly and easily create and design characters that can be used in film, game, or print, and allows you to gain a strong understanding of the foundational artistic concepts.

When building human characters, the skin quality can play an important role in defining the character and adding to its realism.

Going through tutorial projects step-by-step is a really powerful way to learn to sculpt in ZBrush. You can see how the tools work as you follow along and sculpt a particular model with your tutor.

In this Citizen series we’ll take a beautiful piece of sci-fi concept art by Tim Von Rueden and realize the weapon in 3D with Blender’s sculpting toolset. I’ll show you how to quickly generate a base mesh with the skin modifier and how to approach your sculpt with hard surface techniques. By the end you’ll be an expert with brushes like Polish, Crease, and Pinch!

It's hard to imagine a material more versatile than polymer clay. What other medium yields perfectly convincing simulations of everything from marble, wood, ivory, and jade to metal, porcelain, mosaic, enamel, and semiprecious stones--not to mention flowers, food, and sculptural forms? With a thoroughness rarely found in other books on the subject, Sue Heaser explains all of these methods and more, supplementing her excellent instructions with good, clear photos. Although she includes a number of full step-by-step projects, this is primarily a techniques-driven presentation.

In this course we will talk about the process of taking a low-resolution base mesh into a sculpting application for further detailing.
For our example we will be using ZBrush.
We'll talk about how the mesh should be prepared.
We'll also cover the transfer of the geometry back and forth between applications.
We'll also talk about sculpting methods, as well as UV layout and map creation.
Finally we'll cover both manual and more automatic ways of setting up your sculpted assets back in Maya.

In this series of tutorials, we will discuss the concepts, techniques, and tools involved in using a sculpting workflow to build highly-detailed models.
When building 3d models for games, film, or other applications, a high level of detail is often required. In order to achieve this detailed look, it's not always feasible to use more traditional 3d modeling methods- moving points or adding edge-loops. In addition, meshes that are actually that detailed would be unusable because of their high polygon count.

Blender is a powerful and free 3D graphics tool used by artists and designers worldwide. But even experienced designers can find it challenging to turn an idea into a polished piece.

When building 3d models for games, film, or other applications, a high level of detail is often required. In order to achieve this detailed look, it's not always feasible to use more traditional 3d modeling methods- moving points or adding edge-loops. In addition, meshes that are actually that detailed would be unusable because of their high polygon count. To get a detailed looking model while maintaining a workable poly count, a 3d sculpting application like ZBrush or Mudbox can be used. In this course we will talk about the process of taking a low-resolution base mesh into a sculpting application for further detailing. For our example we will be using ZBrush.

In this ZBrush tutorial we will learn how important the foundation of anatomy is for sculpting a female.
Throughout the lessons, we will learn how to construct everything with planes, and learn that simplify the anatomy is the key to a very strong sculpt. Simple and strong silhouettes, forms, and a believable character calls attention to the expression making the character come to life.

In this tutorial we will be using ZBrush to create a full monster sculpture. Starting from a base mesh, we will quickly block out our forms and focus on the anatomy of the body, the gesture of the pose and the shape of the head. Once we have that base established we will move on to the detailing and making of props such as a belt and weapons for our monster.
After all of this, we will pop into Photoshop to create a cool and stylish render. By the end of this tutorial you should be more than comfortable sculpting your own full bodied creations.

During this ZBrush tutorial, you will learn how to speed sculpt a cartoon head from start to finish. First we will make custom brushes, then we will learn how to put together a custom User Interface for speed.
